I like yoko`s on the drive axles,but I do not put them on the front of my truck because i have had 2 blowouts before on the front.
Drives have never gave me any trouble

 

I'd understand RY617, but 103ZR is just 114, and you are loosing 9/32-nd deep, and grabbing capabilities in case you need it.

 

I have a set of TY577 on the drives. They have 150K miles on them and are still at 25/32
Before buying these, I used Bridgestone 726EL and I got about 300K out of them before I replaced them with the Yoko's. I will from now-on use Yoko's for my drives seeing they are holding up great, don't seem to have any vibration and are wearing perfectly even. I feel they are just as good as the 726EL at HALF the price. You won't be disapointed.

FYI, the Yoko steers I had did wear a bit odd tho, and started cupping about 50k miles in. i replaced them with Goodyears and they have been fine for the other 100K, so i agree with wrongway, don't get em.

 

That is true with a lot of retreads, but the newer Michelin Custom Molded Retread XDA-23AT drive tires have a rolling resistance of 110. I can get them for $170 a tire from my dealer after my casing credit exchange. I stayed away from retreads because of rolling resistance until these tires.
